My nickname comes from the name of a cat which my wife had and has now sadly died. The cats name came from a character in a Charles Dickens novel, "David Copperfield" I think but am not certain. My wife aked me what it should be called and the name just came out of the blue!!!!! ;D :-[

Haha..

My nickname is just the first 3 letters of my last name "hud" with "izzle", lol. Some kid called me that in my freshman year of high school and it has stuck for the last 4 years. I admit I use it way too much  :D

Hi there...
chose my nick from a fork the Nightwish drummer (see www.nightwish.com) invented
the metalfork is basically a four spiked fork on which the two spikes in the middle are broken away!
I saw him on a DVD where he had one and for the next Nightwish concert i have built a huge fork and was luckily able to give it to him after the concert! (see picture below)
from there on it was my nickname everywhere!

Cheers....

I've had several Harleys in the past but they're too expensive now and since I'm getting older I find I prefer the smoothness and quietness and power of the Valkyrie. Way back when I was a youngster my first motorcycle was actually a Norton.
